when you see obama gaining now, that means that obama's interviews yesterday were even better than those from seven days ago, conducted before the debate. similarly when you look at the three-day approval number and you see that it's gone up, that means that obama's interviews yesterday were much better than the ones conducted three days ago, which was immediately after the debate. i think what the gallup numbers tell us is romney had a really good couple of days after the debate, but since then their numbers show obama doing better. it's too early to tell whether that's noise or not but consistent with data we see. it's consistent with the poll that shows romney doing well over a long early time period that includes the days after the debate went well. it's consistent with state numbers that show bahama doing pretty well in the last two days but much worse on friday and saturday. it's also consistent with rasmussen which shows obama going back to predebate levels. so i think that the way you can synthesize all this is romney had a great couple of days after the debates, but now it's a l

obama. the good democratic president against whom they've been comparing obama the last few years. they've helped bill clinton attain new heights in popularity. the suspense surrounding that is bill clinton has not cleared his speech with anybody in the obama campaign. that immediately conjures thoughts of clint eastwood and the empty chair, but i would say clinton in 2008 did not clear his speech then. he had a very bad experience going way back to the start of his career in 1998 where he thought the campaign handlers had too much input in his speech and it was a disaster. i think that's what's involved there. quickly, the other element of suspense here involves, sort of like last week, the weather. the obama is planning to deliver his speech thursday night in the football stadium not far from here. they want the 70,000 cheering fans, but there's talk of rain, maybe a lot, we don't know yet. there's the question will they have it outside if there's rain, then is there empty seats and so tha

just like barack obama, and you've heard president obama say it. he said, we're going to have to do something about entitlements and spending. he has a plan -- i give president obama credit. he has a plan to do two and a half times spending cuts for one part revenue enhancements, and that's a formula, i think, that can turn the debt and deficit problems around. i think governor romney has to do that. he has to -- i think the base will hate to hear this, but he has to govern more like a moderate. whatever happens, democrats will have more than 41 votes in the senate. he has to get democrats to cooperate to make anything work, and we're not going to solve the debt and deficit problem. there isn't an economist out there who thinks you can solve it without increasing revenue. >> governor, i think all election cycle we try to figure out are mitt romney's core values and what makes him tick and how is he all over the map? i think the president nailed it today. let's take a listen. >> i mean, he's changing up so much and backtracking and side-stepping. we

the obama administration should have known. they should have had more security there, and he's very vulnerable in that regard. whether or not it matters to voters pondering pocketbook issues remains to be seen, though. >> i'm thinking back a few weeks to the run-up to the first debate in denver. we heard a lot of voices saying, don't get too excited. debates don't matter that much in presidential elections. i took the point. we don't see them changing 20 points worth of votes or something. something very significant has happened in the weeks since then. all year from april to the end of september, barack obama led in the real clear politics polling average. we might have the graph. i'm not sure. for the first time in the entire campaign mitt romney pulled ahead in that average and kept a small, very small but a lead in that since then. i guess my question is, can we finally put an end to this idea that debates don't matter? >> we should. we should have all along, steve. my view has been if debates aren't dispositive and they're
